SURFACE_COMPLEXATION_RXN

Specifies parameters for a surface complexation reaction.

Required Cards:

SURFACE_COMPLEXATION_RXN

Opens the block.

Optional Cards:

EQUILIBRIUM

Specifies equilibrium kinetic sorption.

MULTIRATE_KINETIC

Specifies multirate kinetic sorption. Requires RATES and SITE_FRACTION cards.

RATES <float … float>

Toggles on multirate kinetic sorption. Specifies kinetic rates associated with SITE_FRACTIONs. The number of RATES must match the number of SITE_FRACTIONs.

SITE_FRACTION <float … float>

Specifies site fractions associated with RATES for multirate kinetic sorption. The number of SITE_FRACTIONs must match the number of RATES.

MINERAL <string>

The name of the mineral with which the sorption site density is associated (required, but not yet linked to site density).

MULTIRATE_SCALE_FACTOR <float>

Floating point number that scales all rate constants for multirate kinetic sorption.

COLLOID <string>

Name of the colloid associated with surface complexation reaction.

ROCK_DENSITY

A flag which allows the calculation of surface site concentration based on rock density [i.e. (1-porosity)*soil_particle_density].

SITE <string> <float>

Name of site and site density [mol/m³].

COMPLEXES

Opens a block listing the names of surface complexes associated with the surface complexation reaction and the surface site. These are provided by the database file.
